A run-down corner of Wells is getting a major overhaul with a new takeaway and shop premises.

Plans have been submitted to flatten a car wash outlet on Princes Road - which currently also hosts a kebab van, and replace it with two new units.

But who or what is likely to take over the units, which according to the architect will be high spec?

We'll have to wait and see. For now the site is being advertised as a letting opportunity.

Oxford Architects is proposing a quality rebuild using a contemporary design - the total size of the building will be much smaller - an interior of 4,000 sq ft compared to 7,500 sq ft, and it will be more eco-friendly.

As far as the food unit is concerned, it would be about 1,500 sq ft and would only have permission to serve hot or cold food for consumption off the premises - that's A5 in planning definitions. But that still leaves plenty to consider.

We did speak to Tincknells which owns the site but it doesn't want to comment at this stage as to whether there's been any interest expressed.
